The design is said to use the "human heart as a creative device to take supporters on a journey to the source of life behind the badge".

The red and white shirt sees the gothic 'A' from their classic 'Victoria Concordia Crescit' crest first used in 1949 woven into the design, also featuring on the front of the red socks. The shorts are all-white with red detailing.

The goalkeeper kit, meanwhile, is yellow with red trim featuring yellow shorts and socks with red detailing.

Arsenal have a special launch film that features players from both the men's and women's teams as well as young people from a number of the club’s local community programmes, with Arsenal in the Community celebrating its 40th birthday this year.

The film - which aims to "redefine the concept of home as a feeling shared by Arsenal supporters globally" - is set to the sounds of the players' real heartbeats and reveals their internal monologues.

"I love our new kit, it looks fresh - I'm excited to wear this in front of our incredible supporters," said Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly. "Their energy lifts us and when we step out in the shirt, we feel it more than ever."

Arsenal Women captain Kim Little said: "Supporters are at the heart of everything we do, and this new kit connects to that so deeply.
